The MXHV9910 is a low-cost, high-brightness (HB)
LED driver manufactured using Clare’s high-voltage
BCDMOS on SOI process. This driver has internal
circuitry that allows it to operate from a universal AC
line or from 8VDC to 450VDC. This highly versatile
input operating voltage enables this IC to be used in a
broad range of HB LED applications.
The driver features a fixed-frequency, peak-current
control method, which provides an ideal solution for
driving multiple LEDs in series and in parallel. In
addition, LED dimming can be implemented by
applying a small DC voltage to the LD pin, or by
applying a low-frequency digital PWM signal to the
PWMD pin.

2.1 Overview
The MXHV9910 is a high-efficiency, low cost, off-line
LED driver designed using Clare's state of the art
BCDMOS on SOI process. The driver can operate
from a DC supply voltage between 8 to 450VDC . The
versatile input supply voltage range enables this driver
to be used in a broad range of applications such as flat
panel display RGB backlighting, signage, decorative
LED lighting, and incandescent lamp replacement.
The MXHV9910 IC is configured in a buck converter
topology, which is a perfect choice for off-line and DC
applications driving multiple LEDs in series or parallel.
This method provides excellent efficiency and enables
a buck switcher design using a minimum number of
external components. An external current sense
resistor sets the peak current to the LED string. In
addition, LED dimming can be implemented by either
applying a DC control voltage to the LD pin, or by
applying a low frequency, pulse-width modulated
digital signal to the PWMD pin (typically 500 Hz).
up the voltage across the current sense resistor
located at the CS pin. When the rising voltage at the
current sense, CS, pin exceeds VCS(high), the internally
set threshold, the gate drive signal goes low and turns
off the external power MOSFET. Turning the power
MOSFET off causes the inductor current to decay until
the next rising edge of the clock, and the process
repeats.
The peak current threshold is set by comparing the
voltage developed across the RSENSE resistor to the
internal threshold, VCS(high). This default threshold can
be overridden externally by applying a voltage less
than VCS(high) to the LD pin. The lower of these two
thresholds limits the peak current in the inductor
A soft-start function can be implemented by slowly
ramping up the DC voltage at the LD pin from 0mV to
a level greater than 250mV. Figure 2 shows a typical
recommended soft-start circuit design.

2.2.1 Input Voltage Regulator
The MXHV9910 has an internal voltage regulator that
can work with input voltages ranging from 12VDC to
450 VDC. When the input voltage applied at the VIN pin
is greater than 12VDC , the internal voltage regulator
regulates this voltage down to a typical 7.8V. The VDD
pin is the internal regulator output pin and must be
bypassed by a low ESR capacitor, typically 0.1F, to
provide a low impedance path for high frequency
switching noise.
The MXHV9910 driver does not require the bulky
start-up resistors typically needed for off-line
controllers. An internal voltage regulator provides
sufficient voltage and current to power the internal IC
circuits. This voltage is also available at the VDD pin,
and can be used as bias voltage for external circuitry.
The internal voltage regulator can by bypassed by
applying an external DC voltage to the VDD pin that is
slightly higher than the internal regulator’s maximum
output voltage. This feature reduces power dissipation
of the integrated circuit and is more suitable in isolated
applications where an auxiliary transformer winding
could be used to supply VDD .
The total input current drawn by the VIN pin is equal to
the integrated circuit quiescent current, which is
0.6mA maximum, plus the gate driver current. The
gate driver current is dependant on the switching
frequency and the gate charge of the external power
MOSFET.
The following equation can be used to approximate
the VIN input current:
I IN  0.6mA +  Q GATE  f S 
Where QGATE is the total gate charge of the external
power MOSFET, and fS is the switching oscillator
frequency.
2.2.2 Current Sense Resistor
The peak LED current is set by an external current
sense resistor connected from the CS pin to ground.
The value of the current sense resistor is calculated
based on the desired average LED current, the current
sense threshold, and the inductor ripple current.
The inductor is typically selected to be large enough to
keep the ripple current (the peak-to-peak difference in
the inductor current waveform) to less than 30% of the
average LED current. Factoring in this ripple current
requirement, the current sense resistor can be
determined by:
V csth
R sense = ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 +  0.5  r iout    I LED
Where:
• Vcsth = nominal current sense threshold = 0.25V
• riout = inductor ripple = 0.3
• ILED = average LED current
The power dissipation rating of the sense resistor can
be found with the following formula:
2
P = I LED  R sense

www.clare.com
R02
MXHV9910
It is a good practice to select a power rating that is at
least twice the calculated value. This will give proper
margins, and make the design more reliable.

2.2.3 Current Sense Blanking
2.2.4 Enable/Disable
Connecting the PWMD pin to VDD enables the gate
driver. Connecting PWMD to GND disables the gate
driver and sets the device into the shut-down mode. In
the shut-down mode, the gate output drive is disabled
while all other functions remain active. The maximum
quiescent current in the shut-down mode is 0.6mA.
200
Frequency (kHz)
The MXHV9910 has an internal current-sense
blanking circuit. When the power MOSFET is turned
on, the external inductor can cause an undesired
spike at the current sense pin, CS, initiating a
premature termination of the gate pulse. To avoid this
condition, a typical 400ns internal leading edge
blanking time is implemented. This internal feature
eliminates the need for external RC filtering, thus
simplifying the design. During the current sense
blanking time, the current limit comparator is disabled,
preventing the gate-drive circuit from terminating the
gate-drive signal.

The typical off-line LED driver switching frequency, fS,
is between 30kHz and 120kHz. This operating range
gives designers a reasonable compromise between
switching losses and inductor size. The internal RC
oscillator has a frequency accuracy of ±20%. Figure 4
shows the RT resistor selection for the desired fS.

2.2.6 Inductor Design
The inductor value is determined based on LED ripple
current, maximum on-time, the forward voltage drop of
all LEDs in a string at the desired current, and the
minimum input voltage, which is based on design
requirements. The maximum on-time is determined by
the duty cycle and switching frequency. The maximum
duty cycle is given by:
V LEDstring
D max = -------------------------V in
2.2.5 Oscillator
The MXHV9910 operates in a constant frequency
mode. Setting the oscillator frequency is achieved by
connecting an external resistor between RT and GND.
In general, switching frequency selection is based on
the inductor size, controller power dissipation, and the
input filter capacitor.
200
Where:
• VLEDstring is the LED string voltage at desired
average LED current.
• Vin is the minimum input voltage to VIN
The maximum duty cycle must be restricted to less
than 50% in order to prevent sub-harmonic oscillations
and open loop instability.
The converter maximum ON-time is given by:
D max
t ONmax = ------------fs
Where fs is the switching frequency of the internal
oscillator.
The inductor value for the given ripple is:

2.2.8 Linear Dimming
The inductor peak current rating is given by:
A linear dimming function can be implemented by
applying a DC control voltage to the LD pin. By varying
this voltage, the user can adjust the current level in the
LEDs, which in turn will increase or decrease the light
intensity. The control voltage to the LD pin can be
generated from an external voltage divider network
from VDD . This function is useful if the user requires a
LED current at a particular level and there is no exact
Rsense value available. Note that applying a voltage
higher than the current sense threshold voltage at the
LD pin will not change the output current due to the
fixed threshold setting. When the LD pin is not used, it
should be connected to VDD .

2.2.7 Gate Output Drive
The MXHV9910 uses an internal gate drive circuit to
turn on and off an external power MOSFET. The gate
driver can drive a variety of MOSFETs. For a typical
off-line application, the total MOSFET gate charge will
be less than 25nC.

2.2.9 PWM Dimming
The signal can be generated by a microcontroller or a
pulse generator with a duty cycle proportional to the
amount of desired light output. When PWMD is low,
gate drive is off; when PWMD is high, gate drive is
enabled.
Pulse width modulation dimming can be implemented
by driving the PWMD pin with a low frequency square
wave signal in the range of a few hundred Hertz. The
PWMD signal controls the LED brightness by gating
the PWM gate driver output pin GATE.

can be used to achieve a large dimming ratio.
Note: The output current will not go to zero if the LD
pin is pulled to GND because the minimum gate driver
on-time is equal to the current sense blanking interval.
To achieve zero LED current, the PWMD pin should be
used.

Design Considerations
Application Note AN-300
1
Off-line LED Driver using MXHV9910
This application note provides general guidelines for
designing an off-line LED driver using the MXHV9910.
The MXHV9910 is a constant frequency buck converter
specifically designed to provide a low cost, minimal
external component solution for off-line LED
applications. The converter operates in a continuousconduction, peak-current control mode with no slope
compensation.
When designing an LED driver with the MXHV9910,
the duty cycle must be restricted to less than 50% in
order to prevent subharmonic oscillations.
The MXHV9910 has two current sense thresholds: one
is internally set at 250mV, and the other can be
Figure 1
externally set at the LD pin. The lower of these two
thresholds determines the LED peak current in
conjunction with the current sense resistor (RSENSE) at
the CS pin. A linear dimming function can be
accomplished by adjusting the current sense threshold
voltage in the range of 0-250mV. When the linear
dimming function is not used, it is recommended that
the LD pin be connected to VDD.
Figure 1 shows the functional block diagram of the
MXHV9910 device. Figure 2 shows a schematic of a
typical application circuit for the device, and is referred
to in all the discussions that follow.

Selecting Fuse and NTC1 Thermistor
The fuse protects the circuit from input current surges
during turn-on. Choose a fuse that is rated five times
the peak input current.
I fuse = 5 • I in_pk
I fuse = 4.575A
The thermistor in series with the input bridge rectifier
limits the inrush charging current into the input bulk
capacitor during startup. The value is determined by:
The diode forward current rating should be set to 1.5
times the input average current.
I fb = 1.5 • I in_avg
I fb = 0.2745A
The diode bridge can be subjected to currents as high
as 5 times the forward current, and the diode bridge
should be rated accordingly.

Input Bulk Capacitor, CBULK, and CC
The AC line voltage is filtered by the input bulk
capacitor (CBULK), which is selected based on the
minimum peak rectifier input line voltage and peak-topeak ripple voltage. Assuming a 20% ripple:

C bulk = 66.70μF
For this example, the voltage rating of the capacitor
should be more than VDC_bulk_max with some safety
margin factored in. An electrolytic capacitor with a
250V, 68μF rating would be adequate.
Note that electrolytic bulk capacitors contain parasitic
elements that cause their performance to be less than
ideal. One important parasitic is the capacitor’s
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), which causes
internal heating as the ripple current flows into and out
of the capacitor. In order to select a proper capacitor,
the designer should consider capacitors that are
specifically designed to endure the ripple current at the
maximum temperature, and that have an ESR that is
guaranteed within a specific frequency range (usually
provided by manufacturers in the 120Hz to 100kHz
range).
The Effective Series Inductance (ESL) is another
parasitic that limits the effectiveness of the electrolytic
capacitor at high frequencies.
The combination of the variation of ESR over
temperature and a high ESL may require adding a
parallel film or tantalum capacitor (CC) to absorb the
high-frequency ripple component. This keeps the
combined ESR within the required limit over the full
design temperature range.
7
Inductor Design
The inductor (L1) value is determined based on desired
LED ripple current and the switching frequency. 64 kHz
was chosen as the optimum switching frequency to
minimize switching losses and to reduce circuit power
dissipation at the expense of larger inductor size.
Assuming a 30% peak-to-peak ripple in LED current,
one can calculate the inductor requirements:
r iout = 0.3
( V DC_bulk_min – V LEDstring ) • t on.max_buck
L min_buck = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------r iout • I LEDmax
( 127.3V – 60V ) • 7.366μs
L min_buck = ---------------------------------------------------------------0.3 • 350mA
L min_buck = 4.7mH
Inductor peak current rating:
I Lmax = I LEDmax • ( 1 + ( 0.5 • r iout ) )
I Lmax = 350mA • ( 1 + ( 0.5 • 0.3 ) )
I Lmax = 0.403A
In some cases, when the design requires a higher
current rating and there is no standard inductor
available, a custom-made inductor should be
considered.
Bypass Capacitor, CVDD
The VDD pin is the internal regulator output pin and
must be bypassed by a low-ESR capacitor (typically
0.1μF or higher) to provide a low-impedance path for
high-frequency switching noise.

10 Power MOSFET and Diode Selection
11 Current Sense Resistor, RSENSE
Peak voltage seen by the discrete power MOSFET
(FET) and diode (D1) are equal to the maximum bulk
voltage. For safety reasons assume an additional 50%
margin by design.
The current sense resistor (RSENSE) is selected based
on the desired LED current. In this case, the maximum
LED current is set at 350mA. Note that there is a
difference between the peak current and the average
current in the inductor. This ripple difference should be
included in resistor calculations. The current sense
threshold is given in the MXHV9910 data sheet.
V FET_BVDSS_buck = 1.5 • V DC_bulk_max
V FET_BVDSS_buck = 1.5 • 183.8V
V FET_BVDSS_buck = 275.771V
Assuming 30% ripple:
V Diode_r_buck = 1.5 • V DC_bulk_max
V cs(high) = 250mV
V Diode_r_buck = 1.5 • 183.8V
r iout = 0.3
V Diode_r_buck = 275.771V
V cs(high)
250mV
R sense = ------------------------------------------------------------------ = --------------------------------------------------------------( 1 + ( 0.5 • r iout ) ) • I LEDmax ( 1 + ( 0.5 • 0.3 ) ) • 350mA
Maximum RMS current though the FET depends on
the maximum duty cycle seen by the FET. In this buck
converter, the maximum duty cycle is set slightly less
than 50%. Choose a MOSFET with a rating of 3 times
this current.
I FET_rms_buck =
0.5 • I LEDmax
I FET_rating_buck = 3 • I FET_rms_buck
Note that since the current sense threshold voltage of
the MXHV9910 (Vcsth) is specified between 200mV
and 280mV, 250mV, the nominal value, is used in the
formula above.
Power dissipation across the sense resistor:
I FET_rating_buck = 0.743A
2
Average current though the diode is one-half of the
LED current. Choose a diode with a rating 3 times this
current.
P = I LEDmax • R sense
P = 0.076W
In practice, select a resistor power rating that is at least
twice the calculated value.
I Diode_buck = 0.5 • I LEDmax = 0.5 • 350mA = 0.175A
I Diode_rating_buck = 3 • I Diode_buck
I Diode_rating_buck = 0.525A
12 Layout Considerations
For this design, the IXTA8N50P external power FET, in
the SMD D2-Pak package, was selected from IXYS’
family of Polar N-channel devices. The Polar process
features 30% reduction of RDS(on) and substantial
reduction of total gate charge, QG. This helps with
improved LED driver efficiency by minimizing
conduction and switching losses. In addition, the Polar
power FET family has very low thermal resistance,
RθJC, which improves the device’s power dissipation.
The IXA8N50P can be used with an external heat sink
similar to Aavid Thermalloy’s part number 573100.
The high frequency switching of the buck LED driver
requires the use of a fast recovery diode. The
BYV26_B series diode, in the SOD 57 package, was
chosen for this design.
R00E
R sense = 0.621Ω
In all switching converters, proper grounding and trace
length are important considerations. The LED driver
operates at a high frequency, and the designer must
keep trace length from the MXHV9910 GATE pin to the
external power MOSFET as short as possible. Doing
this helps to avoid such undesired performance
characteristics as ringing and spiking.
In high-frequency switching, current tends to flow near
the surface of a conductor, so ground traces on the PC
board must be wide in order to avoid any problems due
to parasitic trace inductance. If possible, one side of the
PC board should be used as a ground plane.
The current sense resistor, Rsense, should be kept
close to the CS pin in order to prevent noise coupling to
the internal high-speed voltage comparator, which
would affect IC performance. In addition, RT should be
placed away from the inductor and away from any PCB
trace that is close to switching noise.

13 Design Idea
This design idea features an inexpensive, off-the-shelf
Triac Dimmer Controller used with the MXHV9910 LED
driver. The simple circuit is a voltage divider that feeds
into the LD pin. The voltage divider can be adjusted for
110VAC or 220VAC operation simply by changing the
value of resistor, R3. For a 220VAC application,
decrease the value of R3 to 7.8kΩ.
